[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left APS after third grade...our kid lost interest in reading and described being sorted into a group with kids who could not read and just quit trying.  Teacher never helped the group and focused on the higher groups.  DC was flagged for SOL support which we refused b/c we believe the SOL should reflect the teaching for the year not preparing for the test.  Passed the SOL and upon entry to private was considered a full year behind in reading compared to peers.  DC struggled to answer open ended questions.  I will say, DCs writing is amazing because of the focus of writing in private...but DC still struggles with reading the way OP describes in MS[/quote]
I'm not sure I understand.  You admit your son was a year behind in reading but object to him being in a lower reading group?  Then you refused extra help?

My experience has been that teachers meet with the lower reading groups daily and the top reading group maybe once a week.  The struggling readers get the most time by far.  Your son may have missed out on some of this time if you refused to have him meet with the reading specialist.[/quote]
